RefreshClassifieds

IQZone, one the leading provide of classifieds to mobile phones, has partnered with Daily Jolt to provide mobile classified to all of its 200+ university and college focused sites. The IQZone process to ad classified ads looks like a very easy 3 step process:

1. Take a video or photo with your phone
2. Add your text, price and zip
3. Send to ad@iqzone.com

IQZone can expand the text from abbreviations into more meaningful text description, for example A/C can be expanded into ‘Air Conditioning’.

This should be a good partnership for both companies, with students using text messaging on their phones more and more.  The only problem we see is that Daily Jolt is still not very popular the space.  Facebook is much more popular with university and might be a better talk for the IQZone technology.

IQZone, a creative mobile applications company, has officially launched its mobile classifieds site today.

The site allows you to upload a classified ad, with a photo, video or plain text for free and of course all done through your cell phone. Those without a mobile phone are still welcome to IQZone as the site provides alternative ad placement options, such as placing an ad directly online or email. Even with other ad placement options under their belt, IQZone holds their mobile application as their flagship product and it is marketed as such to be their differentiator in the classified game.

The sites classifications still need some fine tuning - searching for cars, but getting an ad for a home was somewhat frustrating. However, the site creators have been smart in finding ways to maximize exposure for their advertisers making it a not so bad option for sellers. Through placing an ad with IQZone, you not only get listed on their site, but your ad will also have placement on Oodle, Google Base and Google Search (formerly Froogle).

Classifieds are evidently only one facet of IQZone’s capabilities. Here, users can share photos, connect with friends and use the application to promote events. Sounds like other social networking sites, but this one places its mobile classified application at the start of the line.
